As the case stands, the selfish interests of half a million citizens are arrayed against the vital necessities of more than a hundred milliond, and the hun- dred miilions do not intend that their hall be denied. - has been patient during the monthe that the mine strike has run its course and has been slow to | take sides. Tt has realized that, while | each side was to argue some measu ion for ite atti- tude, in a larger sense neither side came into court with hands cleansed of greed and selfishness, and it has known that no question of principie or vital interest sufhi it to warrant & nation-wide suspensicn of the mining indu was involved. Re- gstance to reductions in wages or exorbitant fits is recognized as a natural human attribute, and so long as such resistance did not imperil the national wellbeing public opinion was disposed to be lenient. Rut, with cold weather three months nearer than it was when the strike began, the time has come when the public no- longer can afford to take a detached view of the controversy. Production of coal must be resumed or there will be suffering and distress when winter comes. The coal is not imperatively needed now, but there must be production and distribution dufing July and August, for. even if production was adequate later, it would be impossible to transport the coal in sufficient volume to prevent aserious shortage. So the miners and mine owners are summoned by the President to get together -and adjust the dispute with fairness to the parties directly inter- ested and to the public.

If it is found necessary later, in the light of future developments, to change the pro- visions of the reclassification act it can be amended with much less dis- turbance of the public interest and the welfare of the federal employes than is now being occasioned by de- lay and makeshift legislation, such as has been resorted to for the last five years in the so-called “bonus” appro- priations. * x k¥ i What agency shall have the duty of { applying the reclassification sched-! ules is now a three-cornered problem. The original Lehlbach bill as it passed the House provided for the applica- tion of the classification to be made by the department heads, subject to revision by the bureau of the budget. In the Senate an amendment by Bena- | tor Sterling put this authority In the hands of the Civil Service Commis- sion. Another bill, fathered by Sena- tor Smoot of Utah, proposes that the allocation of salaries to jobs shall be made by the United States bureau of efliciency. Some criticisms have recently been made of the Sterling-Lehlbach meas- | ure by leading senators. Other sena- | tors who are now seeking to get| action on ‘the original Lehlbach bill point out that thesé criticisms do not apply to the bill as it pagsed the House. Representative Lehlbach also in- sists that these criticisms do not properly apply to his bill. * X ¥ ¥ The first criticism was that the bill now under consideration is not an equalization of pay for similar work throughout the departments, becsuse it provides, that in making the clas- EDITORIAL DIGEST Her Right as Pioneer Generally Is/ Conceded.

Should she be elected it is agreed she is fully qualified far the psistion." - Regardless of the majority against Mrs. Olesen in Minnesots, the BaHi- more Sun, after reviewing the entire situation, suggests that “there's no telling what a lady will do when she makes up her mind that she wants something very much.” There also might be worse things than her suc- cess, the Philadelphia Public Ledger believes, “in any event Mrs. Olesen's election would * freshen the Senate and quicken interest in its prooceed- ings. That is worth while. We never have had a fair trial of what a wom- an can do in a legislative body. Maybe Mrs. Olesen could reform the Senate. Nobody else has been.able to do it.” In the opinion of the New York Tribune, her victory rings nearer the day when the swish of a skirt will be heard in the world's greatest dellberative assembly.” Because her success -also means that there will be other woman candidates for many offices, the New York Post declares that “the more good women run for office the better. We ask only that in their campaigns they nefther expeat cial advantages, nor fear special dfsadvantages, for the sensible Amer- ican electorate has not shown the slightest tendency toward drawing the sex line in voting.” 1 Il Kellogg the is pointed out by the Duluth Herald that the republicans also have a wom- an candidate on their state ticket, Miss Grace F. Kaercher, for clerk of the Minnesota supreme court, #0 that neither party has a sex advan- tage, and it is demonstrated that “women are as free as men are to run for any office. Truly.these are very interesting times in a very in- teresting period in the progress of mankind.” Mrs. Olesen's record is such, the Springfield Union says, that “even in the event of her election there need be no concern over her ability to outshine some of her col- leagues in the Senate. She may be a woman and a democrat, but we fancy that nobody is going to scate her into voting against her convic- tions of what is wise or right. We have a soft, place in our hearts for pecple of that kind, male or female, republican or democrat.” “The_women in politics are setting an example of talking straight is- sues,” the Milwaukee Journal says. “So far there is doubtless more in- dependence of party among them than among men. If they stick to this in- dependence, they have a very useful contribution to make, especially in these days when Mr. Weeks and his ting party above every- ." Because this is so, “the the South Bend Tribune be- ‘will certainly add to the al- ready keen interest in the outcome of the November election.” While Senator Kellogg's friends confidsntly expect his re-election, the Ann Arhor Times suggests that “with her eyes on Washington and her foot on the accelerator, however, the democratic jamine the Senate amendments with While the | democrats nominated Mrs. Olesen, it} sification no existing salary should be reduced. . This provision was not In-the bill when reported by the civil service committee and when it was passed by the House. It had been lald be- fore the House committee, carefully considered, and rejected. The bill in the Senate now carries such a pro- vision. A second. criticism is that in ajlo- cating employes to grades or classes such latitude is allowed to depart- ment heads or other classifying agency as would perpetuste the ex- isting opportunity for favoritism, the elimination of which Is one of the principal reasons for recladsification. The bill, as it passed the House, carrled express direction as to what particular salary within the ranges of salaries prescribed for a grade was to be sesigned to each Individual oemploye, and allowed no exercise of discrction in that particular at all. Necessarily discretion must be vested In someone to determine in what grade of a service a group of poeitions betongs, ‘but, that having been established, the bill, as it passed the House, allowed no discretion in assigning & salarv to any particular Individual in the zroup. it was made entirely automatic fixod by the act it 4 cretdonary authority was taken away. Repreacntative Lehlbach says that he has not had an opportunity to ex- sufficicnt care to_determine definitely whether such discretion 18 permitted under them, but if 1 it was not in the bill as it passed the House. < * * % x Another- criticism was that the mcasure enlarged the system of lump- lump appropriations for personnel in- steed of developing the eystem of spe- cifia appropriations.” As a matter of fact, the bill as it passed the Housd ‘would result in this situation, that when a request for an appropriatio; for a given number of specified ent- | ployes would be made, it was possible to determine exactly the salary to be pald each employe requested by re- ferring to the salary schedules in the bill, and -thus the use of a lump- sum appropriation and excessive pay- ments to favorite enploycs was made Impossible. Criticlam was alsp made that it is imposeible to estimate with approxi- mate accuracy the cost of reclassi- fication under the bill. If this is so it must also be due, Representative Lehlbach emphasizes, to changes made in the bill since it passed the House. At the time of its passage talles of cetimated cost were pub- liched in the Congressional Record. which approximated the cost of the revieed pay roll with sufficient ac- curaoy for all practfcal purposes. strength of the opposition. “if he values his prospects of re-election.” The Conspiracy of Dress.

The escape from these monstrosities was not so much a change in style as an emancipation. It meant, not merely that woman's dress was to be as sen- sible as man's, but that it was to be more sensible.’ At a stroke it became healthful as well as beautiful.

Most of the larger cities of the country have barred the sale of firecrackers by ordinance, though lack of uniformity in policy has pre- vented the fullest success of the put poses behind such ordinances. In many places there are no restric fons, yet the explosive method of celebrating the holiday has rapidly fallen from favor.
